hi! I think it would be nice if the buildings (houses, plaza, etc.) could show up on the mini-map. And, maybe instead of adding every type of furniture, you could add the very, very basics. Like, a cube that's one/two blocks wide to represent many different furniture items or a chair that's one/two blocks wide.
Hi!! i don't know if i'm missing something that I can do but it seems that the mac key controls are a little different, like for trackpad there's no command if I don't have left/right enabled on the trackpad, alt/enter on mac would be like command F but it took a minute to figure out lol, but yeah I think the biggest problem i'm having is just deleting cliffs because I'd have to use two fingers on my trackpad
it would be cool if you started adding some sets and some famous villagers, examples for sets are: simple items, wooden block items, log items, dreamy items etc. examples for famous villagers: marshal raymond ankha sherb etc
Hellp I just downloaded the imac one and I cant figure out how to get out on the screen it says alt enter to toggle fullscreen but when I press that nothing happened
I found the windowed thing to click so I can now control it
When you first open the app an opinion menu open up and you'll Find the list of screen resolution (The number x number list) right under that box is a little checkmark box with the word windowed next to it you click it(picture with windowed circled
Would be great if im able to get it. tbh I tried MANYMANYMANY time (total 11 different times) some say "file moved or missing" or it's uploaded as a compressed folder that is empty. (unsure if it's unintentional programing or not.) if and when it DOES work. I go to click on the folder "Access Denied". when i go to properties, and enter the security tab. "requested information is either unavailable or cant be displayed". so far im getting frustrated as heck about this problem.
It's not a folder, it's a zip file. Right-click the zip folder, then choose "extract all". Choose the folder you want this zip's contents to be extracted into, and click "extract". After that, it should open up the folder automatically. Now you enter the IslandPlannerWindows folder and double-click the IslandPlanner.exe, choose your settings and there you go
Thank you so much for making this! After getting used to the controls the tool is a lot of fun and it helped me brainstorm a couple of ideas I had for my island :D
I have a request and don’t know how hard it will be to do. But I have this app that I can take a minecraft world and export it as an STL or OBJ file that are used for 3d printing. If it’s possible to do the same thing with this app I would REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! But I love this app and what it is able to do
hey creator! I’ve seen alot of growth with your app. I hope everything is well, I don’t want to pry but I think making a way to extract the build we do into an obj or stl would be super cool for 3d modelers and printers. I would love that and I’ve heard other share the same thought. If you can that would be super cool!!
is there a way to change the size of the terrain brush? i have accessibility issues and only being able to place one at a time (even with click + drag) makes this really difficult (near impossible) to use. wish there was a way to raise/lower terrain in larger groups at once. (or maybe incorperate it with the ruler tool?)
updated features should be in the windows version, if you check the left and theres a ruler and tree icon then its updated. there is an old windows build still up to download though so make sure youre not opening that one
.island files are made by the planner itself when saving!!
that being said, a lovely add-on would be if the grass on tier 2 and tier 3 were different shades so they would be easier to distinguish between when terraforming from the bird's eye view (perpendicular to the ground). Not sure if this has already been made a comment or anything and again thank you so much for this amazingly helpful tool.
Considering the update that's dropping November 5th, this is gonna help a lot to finalize my island. I've done very little terraforming to it because I straight up didn't know what I wanted to do. With Kappn coming back plus this, I can finally get my island finished almost a year later.
okay I saved my file on the desktop version of this planner because I didn't think I would need to download it, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it went. Is /idbfs/islandplanner/saves/islandmanager.island even a thing?? I'm on windows and i've never seen idbfs in file explorer. I spent a lot of time creating my island using this planner so please any help on where the heck my saved file went would be appreciated
Hey! Try this address C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow \bobacupcake\IslandPlanner
If that doesnt work, do the shortcut Win+R, then type %appdata%, then go up to the address bar and click 'AppData', click LocalLow, then 'bobacupcake' its most likey the first folder there :) hope this helps :D
Thank you for the apps and it is really helpful! There's only one thing that need to be change, in this planner, I'm able to put fence and bridge in same box, but on my island, the fence and bridge is unable to put in the same box. I was forced to change my plan when the bridge was built. The size of bridge is 4x4. Hope that this setting can be changed and it will be more convenient on island planning.
Thank you for creating this app! I just started terraforming my island and this will be super useful. There are too many posts to see if my question has been addressed. Does the zoom feature enable seeing the complete island at once? I can zoom large, which is great for working specific areas but I can't seem to zoom smaller to get the overall picture of my planning. Do you plan on future updates? I would gladly pay if affordable. Your work and commitment of time is appreciated! ~Gran~
I have an ancient (its almost 12 years old) hp laptop with i think vista that runs this no problem but my new surface pro x cant? Ive extracted the files microsoft pops up 'find a different app, this isnt supported'. Im not finding anything online, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
-a custom-design-tool inside the path-tool, that opens a file-chooser-window to load 32x32 pixel png graphics from pc for placing as path on the ground
-a file-chooser-window to choose a custom location on the pc to save or load map-files
WOW! Really not happy. I worked on my plan for a couple hours, saved *MANY* times, took a break. It says it can't find my file to load it. At least it was only 2 bucks.
How do you upload an exported save?? either here on the browser version, or the downloaded version. When I click on "load" it says it can't find the foil in the location, but i don't even know how to get to the folder it is looking in :/
could you maybe add where the airport is? wanted to start but bcus im a noob i cant find out where the airport should be and so i can't really design things around it
I have no clue how to start building, there are no clear directions and when I click, for example the plaza, I just get a white box. I watched a YouTube video and it doesn't really explain how to start building. It just runs through what you can potentially do. I did donate to have this program because I wanted to help with that, however, I can't use this program at all. :o(
The plaza is supposed to be a large white box, so no problems there, other buildings are models, (gray) and you can put them almost anywhere, you can make rivers and such with waterscaping, (you can make them as wide as you want) bridges 3-5 is how long they are, (3 blocks, 4 blocks, 5 blocks) you can terraform and use water scaping to make a waterfall (by clicking the edge of a cliff w/ waterscaping), and you can use numbers to switch from tool to tool, (1 - waterscaping, 2 - terraforming, 3 - paths, 4 - buildings, 5 - inclines/bridges, 6 - fencing).
To erase rivers, simply go over them with the waterscaping tool. (I'm not quite sure if you can erase cliffs yet..)
To delete buildings press 5 (buildings), press the pink trash can and select the building you wish to delete.
Same thing for bridges/inclines.
To erase paths, go over them with the grass path.
Not sure if you can delete fences.
Use (A, S, W, D) or (arrow keys) to move.
Since trees and rocks aren't in this program yet, I use certain paths to represent trees, bushes, flowers, bamboo, rocks, and furniture.
By pressing (M) you can hide your map, by pressing (G) you can add/remove a grid, by pressing (F) you can zoom in, by pressing (R) you can zoom out, by pressing (T) you can change the grass's color. (press (B) to get a model of Bob dancing)
Round out cliff edges by clicking them again with terraforming, round out river edges by clicking them again with waterscaping, and round out path edges by clicking them again with the same path.
That's all I could think of, I hope this helped clear things up!

my save doesn't want to work anymore. I noticed however that its size was 401 Ko, while the saves that work are 400 Ko.
please, if you can help me...

Is this open source / do you have the source published somewhere?
I'm not a Unity guy, but I can help in the performance front.
I've downloaded the windows version but it doesn't seem to have any of the updated features. Is that only for the mac version at the moment?
Also, where would I get a .island file? From NHSE?
updated features should be in the windows version, if you check the left and theres a ruler and tree icon then its updated. there is an old windows build still up to download though so make sure youre not opening that one

this is such a helpful app and TY for the update!

On the side it says toggle cliff color mode. That should help.
YOOoo welcome back dev !! thanks for the update and have a good one :>
Hi hi, does anybody know where to find save files on mac?
Came here to ask this^
I can only seem to raise the cliffs to tier 2 but not tier 3 is this a bug?
Considering the update that's dropping November 5th, this is gonna help a lot to finalize my island. I've done very little terraforming to it because I straight up didn't know what I wanted to do. With Kappn coming back plus this, I can finally get my island finished almost a year later.
TL;DR: This is awesome!!
Lovely, its super intuitive for an early build
okay I saved my file on the desktop version of this planner because I didn't think I would need to download it, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it went.

It's a known issue that is listed above
Will you ever add a feature where you can upload a image of your island to make it a bit easier to map out how you want things to look?
hi! just wondering if there were any planned updates soon? I need some treeees hehe
If you want to submit this app on Google play store, list it as unofficial. Let me know if that works.
Do you have an apk for this app?
I have an ancient (its almost 12 years old) hp laptop with i think vista that runs this no problem but my new surface pro x cant? Ive extracted the files microsoft pops up 'find a different app, this isnt supported'. Im not finding anything online, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
I really like it! Helps me imagining my island :) It would be nice if the buildings on the minimap were also visible for better orientation ^^
For those who have problems at the beginning: the squares of the minimap are also present in AC:NH (in the map app). Maybe it helps :)
It´s already a cool tool.
But i wish some things to be added:
-trees, palmtrees, bamboo
-all kinds of flowers
-pumpkin-plants (all four colors)
-the airport
-the sea-bridge
-a custom-design-tool inside the path-tool, that opens a file-chooser-window to load 32x32 pixel png graphics from pc for placing as path on the ground
-a file-chooser-window to choose a custom location on the pc to save or load map-files
Hm... It was all going great until the island planner told me I had reached the ramp limit (8)... When I only have 5 installed.
Very pleased with this! I enjoy spending these days building an island to my appeal, and am glad my files usually save :)
WOW! Really not happy. I worked on my plan for a couple hours, saved *MANY* times, took a break. It says it can't find my file to load it. At least it was only 2 bucks.
That's happened to my before, 3 times to be exact, and though it is frustrating, you can start anew, after all, there's always room for improvement..!
Its free, above the buy option it says. you didnt have to pay anything
do you plan to add a way to import and export NHSE map data? It would be cool to be able to create the island here and import it in the game with NHSE
this right here, i would love a way to do this without having to manually create everything I already have
How do you upload an exported save?? either here on the browser version, or the downloaded version. When I click on "load" it says it can't find the foil in the location, but i don't even know how to get to the folder it is looking in :/
could you maybe add where the airport is? wanted to start but bcus im a noob i cant find out where the airport should be and so i can't really design things around it

the plaza box just represents the size of the plaza; doesn't have much detail since it's only for layout purposes
I can help clear things up!
The plaza is supposed to be a large white box, so no problems there, other buildings are models, (gray) and you can put them almost anywhere, you can make rivers and such with waterscaping, (you can make them as wide as you want) bridges 3-5 is how long they are, (3 blocks, 4 blocks, 5 blocks) you can terraform and use water scaping to make a waterfall (by clicking the edge of a cliff w/ waterscaping), and you can use numbers to switch from tool to tool, (1 - waterscaping, 2 - terraforming, 3 - paths, 4 - buildings, 5 - inclines/bridges, 6 - fencing).
